Home Again

I am a little tired, but quite happy. ❤

Yesterday was a very fun day. I drove to West Virginia to meet my mother in a little hotel off the highway. She brought the Saki (Boston Terrier) and so I got doggy lovins. And Mom lovins too, of course. We snuggled, we watched a movie (we thought about going out to a movie, but we’d both already seen Tangled and neither of us had much interest in anything else out currently), we had a good dinner (lasagna) with good wine, and talked and laughed and it was wonderful. ❤ It was really just the essence of a lovely holiday celebration. Yeah, I would’ve been slightly happier if I’d been able to see some other family members too, but just seeing my mom was enough to make it a good Christmas. And I got a couple gifts (including a bunch of lasagna to take home as leftovers, plus a piece of my mom’s apple bundt cake which I LOVE) and yeah. It was completely and totally worth it.

Unfortunately, our plans for today were cut short by the arrival of lots of snow. It was snowing so hard by the time I got up (8 AM) that after breakfast we both decided it would be better overall if we went home right away, since it was only going to get worse. And indeed, it snowed the entire way home for me. XD I even had to stop at a rest stop to refill my windshield wiper fluid because I used it all up (admittedly, my washer fluid tank has a crack in it, so it only fills about two-thirds full, but still). I also discovered, when I went to get gas, that I had somehow lost my gas cap. x.x I am going to stop at the auto parts store tomorrow morning before work and get a new one. I think I just forgot to put it back on when I stopped for gas yesterday (I mainly stopped for a drink and windshield fluid, as I ran out yesterday too, which is why I already had some in the car today), which means it’s lying in a gas station parking lot somewhere in WV. XD Ah, well.

All in all, it was a good trip, and well worth the drive. I love my mom. Now, I really should get to bed, as I have work again in the morning (assuming they didn’t fire me for going home sick last week, temps have been fired over less).
